I must share with you some of the flippant comments I have received from friends as well as potential clients when asked what their plans were for providing for long-term care.
"I'll just overdose"
"I'll shoot myself"
"When I will need long-term care, it won't matter, because I won't have a clue"
"I took care of my kids, they can take care of me"
Over the years, many people have given me these types of answers. I have to wonder, what are they thinking or the truth is they really don't want to think about it. Therefore, they think its funny just to be flippant about such an important part of life where you may need help with your daily activities.
Sometimes we have to face up to tasks that may not be pleasant such as:
- Your Wills (who will get what and will I insult someone)
- Your Trusts Your Health Care directives
- Your Long-Term Care Plan
It is true, that you become uncomfortable thinking and planning for that day that you may not be the same as you are today. So, while you are healthier today than you will ever be, it is time to plan.
To simplify your Long-Term Care Planning, consult with a Long Term Care Specialist. It will give you insights that will make the process more palatable. It will also let you know if Long-Term Care insurance makes sense and is affordable.
